“…Organotin(IV) complexes find applications as wood preservatives (Kizlink et al, 1996), marine antifouling paints (Singh et al, 2011), fungicides (Kizlink, 1991;Dylag et al, 2010;Khan et al, 2010;Mishra et al, 2011), bactericides (Abbas et al, 2013;Sedaghat et al, 2013a,b), surface disinfectants (Singh et al, 2011), and are used as drugs like NASAIDs (Dokorou et al, 2008), etc. It is well documented that organic-inorganic hybrid complexes of organotin(IV) possess superior properties (Najafi et al, 2013), which are important for the technological application of these materials. In order to study the coordination propensity of N-protected amino acids and sterically congested heterocyclic β-diketones toward BuSnCl 3 , the reactions of these ligands were carried out with BuSnCl 3 .…”
